On January 19, 2021, GOT7 officially ended their contract with JYP Entertainment and the boys decided to focus on their individual careers but previously an insider had said that, “The members love GOT7. They promised to set aside time to do GOT7 promotion” and it looks like they boys did keep their promise.

Today at 6pm KST, as promised, the boys dropped the MV of ‘ENCORE’. ‘Encore’ opened beautifully showing a compilation of raw recordings of them in the studio singing dancing, hugging, laughing, and living in the moment. The visuals start off Black & White and that soon enters colours. The lyrics most vibrantly expressed that the song was dedicated for their fans and yes, the boys made sure there was English subs. The song started off with the boys remembering and reliving the beginning of their journey and the lyrics soon moved on to the love and gratitude they have for their fans as the chorus went “We will sing for you, For the rest of the days too.” And just when we thought, they have already done enough for the fans, towards the end of the MV, there is a special surprise as the boys leave a special message for their ahgases about how ‘Encore’ is a gift to their fans and a promise that has been kept.

Encore means “Again” and we love how the boys choose this word for the MV to show that irrespective of bottlenecks, they will continue to sing for their lovely fandom and that GOT7 is forever and no one can ever change that!
The music is being released via Warner Music Korea and it is being speculated that GOT7 may have signed with the label but there is no official confirmation. Seeing how the video is made, the meaning of the song and the message sent out by the members, this may also mean that although GOT7 will together be forever, this may be their ‘Encore’ for fans but as promised by the members, they will continue to sing for the fans. The MV has been well received and #EncoreWithGOT7 #GOT7Forever among others, began to trend worldwide.
